Maybe we should all watch the proms together like we did at Glasto?

I love the idea of it, but never last more than 5 minutes before reaching for the remote.

Tried it myself last week. Managed 25 mins. Then thought to myself...'Gen.Z, FFS it's not bad, they're superb musicians but...maybe in a few years eh.:D

Watched that Netflix yoke about Bob Weir from the Grateful Dead the other day. It's called The Other One.

What a dude. What a life he had.

Trying to get into The Dead, several people who's opinions I value highly have told me I'm missing out.

Directed by Don Letts, so all signs point to yes

My brother and myself give him stick about that regularly.

His stock answer is, "It was a fuckin' pisstake"

I think he played drums for a song in that set.

New documentary about Shane??? :eek: When??? When??? WHEN???

sligojoek

It's being done by Julian Temple. Shane was over in LOndon fr a few days being interviewed with Johnny Depp and Bobby Gillespie. They'll be doing more in Nenagh later in the year.

There's also a biography being written about him by Richard Balls. I've been interviewed by Richard a few times for that. It's concentrating on Shane's life away from the music business. Shane, his sister and father have been working with the author for the last 18 months or so.

Listening to some of the Qou early stuff, it's not really a million miles away from what the Ramones were doing. Just a bit less frantic.

Don't dig the American "punk" stuff after CBGBs ( aka hardcore) Henry Rollins and the like do nothing for me. Hi Wrong to lump Nirana in with that stuff too I think. They were far more melodically influenced. They belong more to the Husker Du school, who also had a more melodic sound.

John Lydon does a funny impersonation of Malcolm McLaren.

Interesting how he refers to him simply as ‘the manager’.
